En un regard
Le château en bref
The manor of Tenuel is located in Guénin, in the Morbihan department. The lordship is attested in 1448 under Allain de Thenuel; Jean de Thenuel probably had the main residential block built in the second half of the 15th century, after his marriage to Jeanne de Rosmadec. In the mid-16th century, the estate passed to the Martel family through the marriage of Jacques de Martel to Marguerite de Thenuel. The manor features a long, rectangular main residential block with three rooms per storey, and a polygonal tower projecting from the building, housing the spiral staircase and an upper chamber with a fireplace; it combines dressed granite, schist rubble and slate roofs. In 1720, the façade was rebuilt and the residential block enlarged; outbuildings were added to the south of the courtyard in 1744. The complex also includes an enclosed courtyard, a bread oven, a dovecote and mills. Restored at the end of the 20th century, the manor is privately owned.
